Small though this Workshop Manual is in size, it lacks no detail in covering the whole of the servicing and repair of the Volkswagen VR6 engine. The manual is based on the 12-valve engine fitted to the Volkswagen Golf model, but is suitable for any vehicle fitted with the same engine, including the 2.9 fitted to the VW Corrado.

Compiled and illustrated by experts, this manual provides a concise source of helpful Information, all of which has been cross-checked for accuracy to the manufacturer’s official service and repair procedures, but many instructions have derived from actual practice to facilitate your work. Where special tools are required, these are identified in the text if absolutely necessary and the authors do not hesitate to advise you if it is felt that the operation cannot be properly undertaken without the use of such tools.

The manual is called “Pocket Mechanic” and produced in a handy glove-pocket size with the aim that it should be kept in the vehicle whilst you are travelling. Many garage mechanics themselves use these publications in their work and if you have the manual with you in the car you will have an invaluable source of reference which will quickly repay its modest initial cost.
